    AMD does it once again

    Great overall chip for a good price. I upgraded from a R5 3600 after a PSU failure and got this on sale ($200 at the time). Works well as both my gaming and software dev rig. Pros: + Performance uplift of Zen 4 is noticeable in single core and multi-core workloads + Good price point for 6 cores + Little guy loves to boost + PCI-e Gen 5 + Doesn't run as hot as the other AM5 chips + Very stable with EXPO'd RAM at 6000MHz + No X3D cache, so no scheduling issues. + Good efficiency. + Stays cool during idle + iGPU. Not really needed when you have a dedicated one, but its pretty performant. Cons: - While AM5 increases the amount of PCI-e lanes, I still find it to be a limiting factor for anything containing more than 1 GPU... my own personal gripe I guess... - Likes to run hot. Anytime a sustained workload gets placed on it, it will keep boosting until it reaches TJMax. Not a problem if you have a good cooler (ps. thermalright has some cheap ones that can handle the power). - Want EXPO speeds above 6000 MHz? Too bad. - AM5 motherboards will run you a pretty penny. Different socket than AM4. However, AMD claims they will support it for a while, so maybe its worth it.

    great gaming chip, 6 cores and 12 threads is plenty for me. could drive a 3090 or 6900 xt if i were to pair it with either card. if you can get it for less than $200 (at time of writing) the value is excellent.

    Great chip for a good price. I got mine when i caught it on sale for $199 plus tax. It plays my games really well, for a mid tier gaming rig. I play mostly 1440p in ultra settings.

    It does what it’s intended to do, obviously if you’re buying this you’ve done your research and know what you’re looking at. 10/10 would recommend. This thing is fast.

    Not at all as bad as tech YouTubers try to make it out to be. This is a solid 6 core 12 thread gaming workhorse and it doesn't try to be anything else. I ultimately didn't keep my 7600x although all I do is game on my machines. Through a long set of troubleshooting brand new hardware making up an entire system... I didn't find out until I finally replaced the motherboard that that's where the problem lied. At time of writing, there is now the 7600 non-X CPU out there (I got my 7600x for the MSRP of non-X anyway) that may be an easier pill to swallow, being it includes a cooler. But this CPU does exactly what it's intended to do. It pushed frames to my 7900 XTX just fine!

    I was at the right place at the right time, I picked my 7600x up in a combo kit for $134/ $289 all in with Gigabyte B650 Aorus Elite AX board and Starfield key! Thanks Best Buy! Your free shipping was very quick (2 Days) I just used my old 3700x AMD RGB cooler that came with it stock and it works fine for me, paired with GSKill Trident Z5 Neo RGB DDR 5 6000Mhz CL 30 memory. I really only game with the system and that cooler with Corsair 50XTM tim keeps me around 75c and I am still getting my 5450Mhz boost. it does not run at 105watt gaming with that cooler., seems to limit itself to 65watt package without me doing anything and it knows the plan.!

    The 7600X is honestly incredible. In my experience this thing is able to run games at Ultra settings with no problem. (when paired with a 4070 or something equivalent.) Temperature-wise, this thing runs hot! So pair it with a good tower cooler, or get an AIO. If you want to know if this CPU is easy to install, it is EXTREMELY easy, expect the same install process as any LGA CPU.

    I think it’s wonderful and fast but currently I don’t have a gpu so I tried to do some light gaming on the igpu but if I tried to change the graphics settings, the screen would go black and I’d have to press the windows key to “fix” it so I can close the game. I tried to update everything but nothing worked so I just stopped trying. That’s the only reason I’m giving 4 stars. Highly recommend it

    It's fast, easy to install, runs programs with no problem and keeps cool. Make sure to get an adapter for the socket for mounting on your heatsink. I don't have one on but it's fine for now. Overall I love the combo they had with the free game. and motherboard. Ryzen for life.

    One of the best processors I've had. It keeps up and matches my setup. I would definitely recommend this processor. The price is excellent for the processor itself.

    The processors are at an exciting point where they're basically all over kill. I just built a new desktop that I do a lot of work related stuff but also some gaming on. This processor was obtained at a price that was unbeatable. I might eventually upgrade to a 7950x or similar, but we'll see if and when I get to that point.
